Just to affirm what this guy said, these reasons are pretty much why LTC should be on your radar. The heretic in me actually things that LTC could potentially have more value than BTC these days just because they seem to have their shit tog

Yeah I think I've gotta give myself some time away from darts first before trying cigars, I reckon I'm still stuck in "inhale mode". And yeah too right, I get the same feeling, I've cut down my drinking substantiall

Dart is an Aussie term, you probably wouldn't hear your standard upper class snob say it. We have a variety of words for cigarettes. I would very rarely use the term cigarette, too many syllables.

2 weeks in atm, no intention of smoking again. But this anecdote resonates with me. I think I've finally come to accept that that "Something about them is just so nice with alcohol" is just your lizard brain screaming for mor

Eyo, sorry for the delay on this reply. I agree wholeheartedly with everything you said, and didn't mean to come off too aggressive with my first comment, even though I probably did. There is a lot of bullshit going around these days a

Cheers for the comment. And I appreciate the points you made, in all fairness I did mean to reply back and try and actually provide some level of explanation. And you know man, I do understand that first problem, I actually went around my l

I feel it's necessary to point out some problems with your argument here. "I'm an open minded person and honestly believe d that Bitcoin might work prior to actually using it." First of all, it seems kinda strange to me

This, I don't consider myself a vindictive person, but financial vultures need to be punished.

Whilst the luck element is true, I think people place to much emphasis on it, in reality, pretty much every person that "got lucky" had been working hard at whatever it was they "got lucky" in for a while. It's just

Big companies make a habit of pushing their tax liabilities to the most favourable jurisdiction. As the other comment said, they would take the piss.

Ahh sorry if I came off to be attacking you man, wasn't my intention at all. And yeah you got it spot on! I know that for my Dad in particular, he always said to me whenever I mentioned scaling the business up and taking on more guys t

As someone who comes from parents who own a small construction company, I think you've actually gotten it the wrong way round. What you say could be construed as correct, but in the wrong way. From what I understand, many small busines

I've never seen someone hate on Joel, but to me it would seem misplaced to hate on him, Fog Creek clearly know how to do enterprise tech.

As you get through the article, he mentions https://toggl.com/ as his time tracking tool. I'm not usually a fan of videos, but that intro is awesome.

Nailed it, did an online course with Kaplan a few years back (Diploma) and was pretty chafed by the experience. The content was dated, the "teaching methods" non-existent, with pretty ridiculous qualification criteria.

Got this at home, bought it whilst doing the course a couple of years ago, I've been planning to get around to reading it, I'm gonna bump it up to my next up after I'm finished with "It".

I've never quite understood how this works, I'm trying to imagine a burglar being asked to give back "some" of what he stole, but not everything, that would be "unfair". Fight fire with fire in many cases, star

Probably highlight some interesting bits and pieces in relation to the whole "use boring tech" vs "use bleeding edge tech" argument that so many people seem to make.

Who did you ban? The first response or second one?

Agree wholeheartedly with the entire article. Gotta cringe when you get to the end though, and you get blasted with "Top 3 Dog Pics You Have To SEE To Believe!!!", ironic.

Just from reading the intro, it all seems to mesh so well into engineering decisions.

I think this comment nails it to be honest, I am a bootcamp grad and a lot of the time I do feel that most junior web devs are pushed into the cult of Javascript very early, React is pushed as if gospel and whilst much "emphasis"

In theory, yes. In practice, no.

Can you explain why this is a deal breaker? Is it the use of OCR or the choice of provider? Assume I know nothing here, because I do.

Hate to nit pick, but it's not that it "would have happened", it's moreso the fact that it actually did happen. Repeatedly. Globalisation is largely a result of these hyper aggressive neo capitalist agendas. IMO some bas

I feel that in many ways, there is a take-a-side mentality bred into all of us via social cues from a young age. Your football team, the city/country you are from, the education provider you attended. And as I've gotten older, I&#
